Tracking Islamophobia in the Media

My Hannity Show debate was about State Question 755, which bans Oklahoma courts from considering Sharia in their cases. I am not a lawyer but as an American I see this as a direct violation of the First Amendment and blurring to the line separating state and religion. What’s worse is that this is snowballing […]

I was supposed to discuss religious persecution in Iran and Pakistan on the Hannity Show. Instead, the conversation shifted to the old topic of the radicalism of Imam Abdul Rauf of the Islamic center near Ground Zero. Luckily this time around I had more time to set the record straight on the Imam as a […]

The Daily Show takes a hilarious look at our politics and naive media coverage of the Muslim center near Ground Zero. After his absences, Imam Abdul Rauf shared on CNN his worries about US national security from the radicals’ reaction to removing the center. But the media and politicians took his worries as a threat […]

Brigitte Gabriel believes just because we have more mosques here since 9-11 that there is now enough tolerance of Muslims in America, ignoring the fact that hostilities to Muslims recently are on the rise as seen in headlines all over the media. Indeed the Department of Justice is already investigating a handful of anti-Muslim incidents […]

It is interesting how Zuhdi Jasser, President of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, undermines racism and Islamophobic politics about the Muslim community center near Ground Zero. An innocent NYC cabbie was just stabbed for being Muslim. A bomb exploded in a mosque in Jacksonville, FL, while 60 worshippers were inside. A priest in Florida […]

I debated David Horowitz on Sean Hannity radio show a couple of days ago. Point blank Horowitz asked me if I would agree to the building of a synagogue near ground zero if the 9-11 terrorists were Jewish. I answered him with a clear YES, saying “I am American first and foremost and my actions […]

On the Hannity Show on Aug. 9, I debated Republican Congressional candidate and former CIA Officer Gary Bernsten: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsDvfMFj0yE Bernsten already declared the mosque “a magnet for militants.” While he doesn’t even know Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, he assumed the Imam is radical or guilty by association for knowing the former Iranian Ambassador, whose brother […]
